Hey again Arena Warriors, once more i delayed too much to post any kind of news in here, i have to admit my procrastination problems is what affects the amount of posts i do, but this time i have plenty of things to show in the maps department.
Rarlocan Main Base Rework finished!
In the previous post i have shown the progress of this rework for the oldest map present in the Map Pack now, so here's the latest screenshots of the new final arena it has, replacing the old portal one:
New Map! Horsemen's Rest.
During the entirety of 2022 i planned to work on 2 more new maps, one to fill the gap of the "Easy" difficulty label, since the map pack lacks any of those at the moment, and another "Medium" difficulty one.
So Horsemen's Rest should get new players into a good presentation and give them a smoother learning curve to play the mod:
This map may be an easy experience for combat, but players may still watch their step as being the first Sky Map into the mod, falling down into the planet means death (Flashbacks from Space Maps in Quake 3).
New Map! Ritualistic Nature.
The second map mentioned, the "Medium" difficulty one is set in a night time moon with a dense forest and non-linear progression for the majority of the journey:
The initial idea for this map was to invest in the usage of the flashlight feature, which currently isn't much necessary for the previous maps, despite some of them looking dark, there's enough visibility to play without the use of flashlight.
Previously i mentioned another release of the Map Pack would happen soon, but that soon never came, the reason for that is that i decided that would finish the tutorial map before doing that, however the tutorial map is still halted in development and those reworks and new maps came first. In the next release of the Map Pack the tutorial map will still probably be incomplete, the importance of the tutorial map is to cover all elements the mod have at least to the basic level and also show the new mechanics to players and how to use them, the problem with that is that i keep introducting new mechanics with these new maps i do, and with that i decided to leave the tutorial map halted until i feel like i won't be including any more map-related mechanics to the mod.
So far this is all folks!

Hello You see i make a monsters only edit of this mod sadly only a few monsters work properly without the mod but almost all vanilla monsters are replaced sadly the Spidermastermind and Cyberdemon dosen't get a replacement because every boss monster refused to work
Well i just wanted to ask permission before posting it here
If you tried and succeeded then fine, this has been requested for years and i won't be refusing it external help for sure. Just hope you mind the maintenance as well, as some before you also branched the mod but don't keep up with the updates i do.
Hey there...how can I reach the HM campaign when opening map 08 ...
The portal in the middle only says there isn't any more maps available ...
The Middle portal is for story-driven maps, which there's none currently, only the right portal is functional, you can select maps by using the terminal right in front of Crash's statue there.
Thanks i will try to keep updated
The current versión had only a few monsters i'm trying to make the rest of the cast to work this edit is mainly intended for EOA but ir works with any weapon mod
Is there a .wad for just the models?
The weapons and enemies in this game are super cool looking, but for some reason this mod seems to make the game easier. Not just that the weapons are more powerful, but the player has more health and takes less damage.
Well i'm in the midle of making a monsters only but i want to ask permission before posting it here
I want to play regular DOOM with the monster models, can I do that? Also where are the animation files for the monsters? I want to add the DOOM 3 Revenant to the Revenant Bus mod
can you get back DooM reinforced Core (weapons not maps) only version of this mod i can find is beta 9.8 where's weapons and enemies are 2d.
You can find DRCore lying in TSPG database, i used to host some survival matches in there and kept the pk3 there: Allfearthesentinel.net
thank you.
I have a weird issue; I don't see neither the enemies, nor the weapons to pick up. Is this common?
Are you using Zandronum version? If yes, be sure to be using the OpenGL renderer, and set the variable "gl_use_models 1" in the console.
every monster need resize to in order to fit doom original size monsters
